Troyka are Chris Montague (guitars and loops), Joshua Blackmore (drums) and Kit Downes (organ), three young musicians based in London whose intense live shows have seen them hotly tipped to follow in the foot steps of Polar Bear and Portico Quartet and become the next young band to explode from the capital’s fertile jazz scene. A multi-textured trio with a febrile imagination where no role is pre-defined, their music twists and mutates in an ongoing dialogue inspired by a shared love of Aphex Twin, the angular world of iconclastic New York saxophonist Tim Berne and the blues-jazz-rock groove of legendary Steely Dan and Billy Cobham guitarist Wayne Krantz.
Touted as the ‘Band to watch for 2009’ by the Jazzwise, UK’s leading Jazz magazine.
"Troyka slot together to make tight, muscular avant-jazz-rock." Jon Newey (Editor of Jazzwise Magazine) - March 2009
“They’re a cerebral jam band with a funky edge and a relentless drive, with guitarist Chris Montague borrowing much of John Scofield’s angular distorto dialect”. TIMEOUT
